Rebar band saw vs shear cutter: which should I choose?

Quick answer: a band saw gives a clean, square, burr-free cut and suits precision and batch work; a shear cutter is faster and simpler for rough cutting to length. Our GD-350ZD band saw cuts stock up to 400 × 350 mm at 5–90 m/min; the GQ70A shears rebar to 70 mm.

Band saw (GD-350ZD): a 4 kW saw that cuts bundles or sections with no deformation of the bar end, so it is preferred where bars are later threaded, welded or must fit a coupler exactly. The clean end also helps when you cut after bending.

Shear cutter (GQ70A): a guillotine action that is near-instant and needs no blade changes as often, but leaves a slightly crushed end. For straight cutting of rebar to length on a busy site, it is the faster and cheaper choice.
